Hi, an alternative approach (that would require some enhancements to the system) is that of creating a special (non-cash) payment for the credit memo amount that is applied to the outstanding invoice together with the cash payment. For example: invoice from vendor: $100 credit memo from vendor: $20
then the buyer could create two payment: cash payment: $80 non cash payment (from credit memo): $20 the two payments can be applied to the original invoice of $100 to fully pay it. The cash payment will Credit the Cash Account; the non cash payment will Credit a special (Asset) account whose balance represents the total amount of credit memos received from seller and not yet applied.
